Delaware Toll Calculator

What Is the Delaware Toll Calculator?

The Delaware Toll Calculator is an online trip cost estimator that lets you enter:

• Start location – where your trip begins
• End location – your final destination
• Vehicle type – car, SUV, motorcycle, etc.
• Payment method – E-ZPass or Toll-by-Plate/Cash
• Round trip option – if you’re coming back the same way

Once you click “Calculate Trip,” it shows the total toll cost for your journey and breaks down the tolls by each plaza you’ll pass.

Example: Wilmington to Rehoboth Beach

Here’s a real-world example using the calculator.

• Distance: 96.76 miles (one way)
• Vehicle type: Car, SUV, or motorcycle

If you pay with E-ZPass:

• SR 1 (Biddles Toll Plaza) – $1.00
• SR 1 (Dover Toll Plaza) – $1.00
• Total: $2.00 one way

If you pay with Toll-by-Plate/Cash:

• SR 1 (Biddles Toll Plaza) – $2.50
• SR 1 (Dover Toll Plaza) – $2.50
• Total: $5.00 one way

This shows how much you can save with E-ZPass — in this case, $3.00 each way.

Why Use the Delaware Toll Calculator?

1. Budget planning – No surprises when you reach the toll booth.
2. Route comparison – See if alternative routes save money.
3. Time savings – Choose E-ZPass for lower costs and faster travel.
4. Fuel cost option – Some calculators also let you estimate fuel expenses.

E-ZPass vs Toll-by-Plate/Cash

E-ZPass is almost always the cheaper choice. It uses an electronic transponder to automatically deduct tolls from your prepaid account. Toll-by-Plate or cash payments are more expensive because they include processing and administrative costs.

If you travel in Delaware often, an E-ZPass is worth getting — the savings add up quickly.

Tips for Using the Delaware Toll Calculator Effectively

• Select the right vehicle type – Larger vehicles can have higher tolls.
• Check round trip – Saves you from running the numbers twice.
• Update payment method – See how switching to E-ZPass changes the cost.
• Use before you travel – Helps you avoid underestimating expenses.
